@Olympian1010 :SVK president Zuzana Čaputová landed in New York for her first visit of the :USA but don´t worry her program doesn´t include any meeting with your "president" or any other USA diplomat. She just wanted to attend the Globsec last night, then will have a speech at the UN, her next program is the climatic summit, a short meeting with UN general secretary and want spend a day to visit and speaks with the Slovak minority in USA

That’s cool. If she would have landed in California I would’ve tried to get a picture of her leaving the plane myself.

 

Also, I just remembered a really unique fact about my childhood for some reason.

 

Before the space shuttle program was shutdown, they used to land in my home town. The sonic booms were unbelievably loud. Seeing that thing just dart across the sky and then slow down was just awesome. All of the landings I saw (2 I think) were successful thankfully.

Ah, so she's the only smart person in the room, digging in before some idiot throws some olives on her actual food?

I’m going to have Bruna sneak an olive into one of the your dinners one of these days. It will be the highlight of the year.
